There it is

some new little things to remember always

Lots from my Bella this week.
This is exhauster-ating!
Our home is delightful.
This drink is schmooper good! (it was actually orange soda and she liked it)


K found a new trick where she goes up and down on her tip toes. She gets so proud.

P is the kissiest, loviest baby I have ever seen. I get at least 20 kisses per day from her.

K & P are so love-hate lately. One minute petting each other, kissing, and hugging...the next pushes, shoves, hair pulling, sitting on each other. It is so fun to watch the relationship of identical twins.

It's official

in may we will have four kids aged three and under. (that is, until june, when bells will turn four). we are excited to have a baby.

i am not so excited about being sick for the next 7 months.

Mad Hairs

So Bella points to Levi's eyebrows yesterday and says, "Those are mad hairs."

L: What?
B: They are mad hairs. Because when you are mad you go (Makes a mad face using eyebrows). That's why.

ha ha. I love it!

Boutiques!!!

Levi and I have been making and selling wooden things like shelves, plaques, blocks, etc. to Associated Food Stores (Macey's etc.) for 8 months now. It's something we both enjoy doing together. He is always baffled by the things women buy. But I think they are so cute! We got into it because of Levi's mom. She is the floral manager at Macey's PG and wanted to give us the work instead of ordering through someone else. The other nice thing about it is it means extra money. We're not talking tons of extra money, but the construction industry is so up and down and it's really nice to have something extra that I can help bring money in with.

Why am I telling you all this? We need your help! We are going to be a vendor at the Holy Cow Boutique in Pleasant Grove this November and possibly a huge on called Santa's Workshop in St. George. We need some help coming up with the things we will be selling. We want to volume produce things that a lot of people like so we can best utilize our investment.

Will you help us out by telling us what you like best and what you would buy. I'll be posting pictures soon of the things we make! We'll also have polls. Thanks a million!

Chilly Hockley

Bella is one of those cool people who comes up with the trendy words we all pick up on and copy (remember "Ron Juber"?).

She picked up her newest from her sisters' talking My Little Pony. I think the pony's name is Chilly, and it says "Chilly hungry".

Well, Bella's interpretation is "Chilly Hockley".

Now what exactly is Chilly Hockley? It means many things, but we'll name a few:

* Boring
* Frustrated
* Cool
* Fun

Tonight:
B: I don't say it anymore, cause I'm sooo bored of Chilly Hockley
M: What do you say now?
B: Lots of fings...horse, sleigh...all the fings I know.

We'll keep you up to date on the new cool phrase as soon as Bella decides what it is.

Drips

Yesterday, Bella is watching a cartoon about an elephant. I am in the other room getting ready. I hear Bella yelling "No!" and "OH!" and "OH NO!" She sounds pretty stressed.

M: Bella are you okay?
B: (comes running in to my room all intense) The bad guy is going to shoot the elephant!
M: He won't get the elephant. Come on let's go watch.
( We sit down and watch as the elephant gets away. I look over and Bella's eyes are filled with tears)

Bella, are you crying?

B: No. I just have drips in my eyes.

Okay, first, I didn't realize how scary and intense the cartoon, Babar could be for a three year old. Second, she didn't want to change the channel she had to see what happened to the poor elephant. But, third I love that she calls tears or crying "drips in her eyes"! So cute.
